Ok guys,
Here's the deal.  I have a 10/22 with a 16" fluted .920" Green Mtn. barrel with Williams fire sights.  It's cool.  I have a Tech Sight rear sight.  It's cool.  Now, problem is, with the Tech Sight rear sight and the Fire Sight front sight, I'm shooting high..not cool.  So, I need some sort of riser for the front sight.  I bought one from Williams, but it's a standard type riser for dovetail sights.  The Fire Sight front sight on the barrel is the screw on type, like you would see on a heavy barrel Ruger MkII/III pistol so a normal dovetail riser no workie.  Suggestions?

Best option is to just buy a higher Williams sight:

I'd contact the Brownell's Tech Staff or go direct to Williams.  I'd bet that they make the sights in higher sizes.

I'm pretty sure they don't make any other sizes....I'll try calling Brownells

You are to close to the target. if you back up your shots will drop right in.

I should of just said Tag for more info, cause that's what I really meant.

That's what I thought you meant, but I don't think it's a matter of distance.  The original fire sights are like on a traditional 10/22...front are rear are barrel mounted.  However, I want to use the receiver mounted TechSight, which means the front sight needs to come up.  I wonder if the front sight they make for the tapered barrel MkII would work or if that's still not tall enough?

Williams does make a higher front sight, at least for the dove tail type.  I tried the receiver mounted peep sight and as a set, it comes with a higher front sight.

Welp,
I called Williams, they don't come any higher.  I called Tech Sights to see how far the adaptor slides on the barrel with the hopes of just drilling a hole in the adaptor so it would line up with the hole where the front sight screw is...11/16".  I called GM to ask where the hole is drilled 1 5/16"....there goes that plan.  I don't know what it would cost to have a riser fabb'd and mounted.
